Readers have debated from time to time if people from Philadelphia come to the Levittown area, and if so, what theyย will be doing.
An answer of one kind emerged Sunday. A group ofย ย four people from Philadelphia were fishing at Silver Lake in Bristol. It’s something that will make state Rep. John Galloway, who is the vice chair of the House Game and Fisheries Subcommittee, definitely smile.

“This is our secret spot for bass fishing,” one of the group of four said as they held up one of the many they caught while fishing off the edge of ย lake on Bath Road.
“There are no good bass spots in Philly so we come here,” Steve Owens said.
